Cold Front's Primary Hazard is Flash Flooding

SAN ANGELO – Light rain showers will taper off across the Concho Valley Monday afternoon giving way to mostly clear skies ahead of a cold front that's expected to hit Monday night and early Tuesday morning bringing heavy rain and flash flooding.  

The primary threat with the storms from the passage of the cold front will be flash flooding.  The thunderstorms have the potential to dump 2 inches of rain or more Monday night into early Tuesday flooding creeks, streams and low lying areas along with inundating city streets causing delays and detours for drivers. 

National Weather Service Meteorologists predict the heaviest rain in the Big Country spreading into the Concho Valley with all areas seeing a good chance for widespread heavy rain early Tuesday.  

The strongest thunderstorms could also produce large hail and damaging winds.  Look for advisories and warnings to be issued Monday night with the passage of the cold front.  

Temperatures will drop to below seasonal normals.  Afternoon highs this week will be in the 70s and 80s with overnight lows dropping to the 60s. 

Rain chances linger all week long across the Concho Valley so the threat of flash flooding over already saturated ground will remain a concern through Saturday.  Expect mostly cloudy skies all week.
